There is the kernel.
But then there is also all the supporting infrastructure, such as X11,
GNOME, sendmail, etc. etc.
So I may mean different things at different times. I talk about
running Linux. This is a shorthand for running GNOME in X11 with a
Linux kernel plus lots of other software. Not all of that software
comes from Linus Torvalds, Red Hat or the FSF. Some of it isn't even
GPL :(.
